    The wildest parts - to me - of the Ellis LSD No-hitter is that ONE. he didn't take the team bus to San Diego and was chilling in LA when he dropped the acid. His friend looked in the paper(how we got news in those days) and told him he was pitching THAT NIGHTs game( a twi-nighter that started at 6pm) in SD.... he got to the park already tripping but everyone thought he was just in his "game zone" and left him alone. He said that pitching that game was easy - "the ball went wherever I wanted". But he said the toughest part was 1. the dugout steps after each inning, once stopping at the top wondering how to get down and 2. Catching the throw back from the catcher - "he said the ball changing size" as it got closer to him . 😂🤣😅

      At least your team accomplished that.

      Round”, giving Albert Pujols an anti-climactic send off to his retirement.
      Plus, with Fernando Tatis Jr eligible to return to the lineup now in late April,

    The first ever combined no hitter was thrown by Babe Ruth and Ernie Shore for the Red Sox in 1917. Ruth was ejected for arguing balls and strikes after walking the first batter (who was then caught stealing). Shore entered the game and recorded 26 straight outs so even though he basically threw a perfect game all he got was a combined no hitter.

We stopped at the neighborhood park and kind of migrated towards the basketball court.

    From Wiki: "On May 3, 2011, Liriano pitched his first career complete game, a 1-0 no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. The no-hitter featured 6 walks, a high (although not record-high) number for a no-hit game. He struck out 2 of the 30 batters he faced and threw 123 pitches, 66 of which were strikes."

He’d often pass through baseball cards of these players and get them signed. Cubs came to town and Ken Holtzman was having one of his best seasons. My uncle chatted him up and asked him to sign one of his baseball cards. Ken took the card and proceeded to put a big X on the card and gave It back of my uncle. My uncle proceeded to put jinx on Ken Holtzman, did a little dance and said he wouldn’t win a game for the rest of the year. I’ve done some research and I believe this game was the 6-18-1969 game, and after that game Ken did significantly worse and this was also the year the cubs choked down the stretch and the amazing Mets won the World Series.

However, the Dodgers were able to go up 1-0 in the bottom of the 5th due to a walk and an unfortunate series of errors. Because the Dodgers were the home team, they did not go up to bat in the bottom of the 9th. Because of this, it technically doesn't even count as a no-hitter.

    The 1967 AL season is arguably my favorite single season of baseball to study and, yes, that no-hitter was part of it.

    Edwin Jackson was on the Nationals with Gio Gonzalez when Gio took a no-no into the 9th against Miami on what would have his friend Jose Fernandez's birthday. After the game , Edwin went to Gio and said "hey want to hear the story of how I threw the worst no-hitter in baseball history?"

  • @MScotty90
    @MScotty90 2 года назад +1

    Dock Ellis' perspective: "The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes, I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me." (From Wiki)

    When I was in 5th grade, our teacher, Mr McCully was called by the national guard for service, and he was sent to a Viet Nam war riot at LSU in 1970.
    We were asked by the substitute teacher to send him a letter for encouragement, and I drew a bunch of soldiers stoned on LSD at LSU (true story).
    I wonder if he got a laugh out of it!

  • @HighpointerGeocacher
    @HighpointerGeocacher Год назад

    Here is a scenario to propose, based on the new baseball rules. Pitcher pitches nine perfect innings, but his team has not scored any runs so the game goes into extra innings with score 0-0. 10th inning begins with "ghost" runner on second base. Pitcher with perfect game going continues into 10th inning, he retires all three batters he faces but "ghost" runner scores without any hits or errors (stolen base, groundout, sacrifice fly, etc.). His team does not score in the 10th inning, so he loses 1-0 even though he got all 30 batters out that he faced. Would that be considered a perfect game?
    Another scenario is that the "ghost" runner is caught stealing, picked off, or erased on a double play. Thus, if his team does score and he wins, then he would earn credit for a perfect game, but he would have faced only 29 batters in 10 full innings.

  • @joshw9424
    @joshw9424 Год назад

    Since you got on the subject of nine inning no-hitters that don't officially count, a 23-year-old Pedro Martinez (while with the Expos, in 1995) threw nine perfect innings, but the game went to extras tied 0-0. His team scored in the top of the 10th, but he gave up a double in the 10th and was removed from the game. They did go on to win so he got the W, but he got neither the Perfect Game nor the No Hitter, and in fact for his career he would never throw a No-No.

    Another fun fact about the Haddix no-hitter is that the Joe Adcock hit that ended the game actually cleared the fence. Adcock passed another runner on the bases and was called out between second and third.
